"Why does Gohan have to go through an arc where he has to protect the planet/people from evil dickheads and maybe hopefully finally learn that he can't always count on his dad to save the world, and that doesn't mean he has to sacrifice the peaceful life he wants all the time? Why can't he stay more or less irrelevant like the rest of the modern DB cast who isn't Goku or Vegeta? You're not actually a fan of Gohan if you want his character to have depth and contrast!"

Gohan "fans" don't want him to be happy.

#OP restricted replies and posts like these drive me mad so i had to reblog to comment on it #these gohan takes remind me of my mlp days where fans complained that fluttershy kept having plots where she had to be more confident #and just totally missed the point those episodes were trying to make #DBZ fans will complain that its just 'The Goku and Vegeta Show' (which is fair #super is so insufferable for that </3)#but whine when it tries to make its secondary protagonist relevant bc they didn't do it the way they wanted aka: with no real conflict #also because gohan is an incredibly complex character who's defined by his desire to equally live a peaceful life #as well as protect those he cares about?? either with his great saiyaman persona or not??#its why i hope gohan (and the other characters) is an actual main character in daima #i want him to finally realize he can have a balance in life as a normal earthling and a saiyan and not just rely on his dad to save the day #apologies if this ruffles feathers but yall will not turn my son into a boring softboy who only does slice of life shit
